Service Codes
No Terrain Lights or DDM – Dashes "--" (Codes 51, 52, 54, 55, 56)
Type: PCU Solenoid 
(Supply, Deflate, Control, Front, or Rear)
Code Description
A “Solenoid Fault” code indicates an electrical fault in the 
Pneumatic Control Unit (PCU). System operation is disabled 
when these faults are detected.
The system shuts down in a fail-safe mode and turns off the 
power to the solenoids.
The troubleshooting tree first tests internal solenoid circuitry. 
Resistance outside the specified range of 30 to 80 ohms indi-
cates a defective solenoid. Succeeding steps check continuity 
of the wire harness circuits between the PCU and the Elec-
tronic Control Unit (ECU). If the problem can be traced to a 
faulty circuit or connector, make the necessary repairs. If the 
troubleshooting routine leads to a problem with the solenoid 
itself, the PCU must be repaired or replaced. If both the sole-
noid and the circuitry check out OK, the ECU is faulty.
See “Troubleshooting Tips” for general guidelines on system 
diagnostics.
